Mandriva Linux Security Advisory 2013-082 - An integer overflow flaw, leading to a heap-based buffer overflow, was found in the GIMP's GIF image format plug-in. An attacker could create a specially-crafted GIF image file that, when opened, could cause the GIF plug-in to crash or, potentially, execute arbitrary code with the privileges of the user running the GIMP. A heap-based buffer overflow flaw was found in the GIMP's KiSS CEL file format plug-in. An attacker could create a specially-crafted KiSS palette file that, when opened, could cause the CEL plug-in to crash or, potentially, execute arbitrary code with the privileges of the user running the GIMP. fits-io.c in GIMP before 2.8.1 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service via a malformed XTENSION header of a.fit file, as demonstrated using a long string.GIMP 2.8.2 and earlier is vulnerable to memory corruption when reading XWD files, which could lead even to arbitrary code execution. Additionally it fixes partial translations in several languages. This gimp update provides the stable maintenance release 2.8.2 which fixes the above security issues.

Package : gimp
Date : April 9, 2013
Affected: Business Server 1.0
_______________________________________________________________________

Problem Description:

Updated gimp packages fix security vulnerabilities:

An integer overflow flaw, leading to a heap-based buffer overflow,
was found in the GIMP's GIF image format plug-in. An attacker could
create a specially-crafted GIF image file that, when opened, could
cause the GIF plug-in to crash or, potentially, execute arbitrary
code with the privileges of the user running the GIMP (CVE-2012-3481).

A heap-based buffer overflow flaw was found in the GIMP's KiSS CEL
file format plug-in. An attacker could create a specially-crafted
KiSS palette file that, when opened, could cause the CEL plug-in to
crash or, potentially, execute arbitrary code with the privileges of
the user running the GIMP (CVE-2012-3403).

fits-io.c in GIMP before 2.8.1 allows remote attackers to cause a
denial of service (NULL pointer dereference and application crash)
via a malformed XTENSION header of a .fit file, as demonstrated using
a long string. (CVE-2012-3236)

GIMP 2.8.2 and earlier is vulnerable to memory corruption when
reading XWD files, which could lead even to arbitrary code execution
(CVE-2012-5576).

Additionally it fixes partial translations in several languages.

This gimp update provides the stable maintenance release 2.8.2 which
fixes the above security issues.
